BOULDER - A freshman from the University of Colorado at Boulder is making a difference in some young people's lives that are half a world away.
Heather Starbuck says her life changed a year and a half ago, when she visited the Cambodian town of Pailin.
"I want to go back someday," Starbuck said.
The tiny community is situated along the country's Western border, near Thailand; almost everyone who lives there is poor.
"It just makes me think, 'Wow, we have it really well here in the United States,'" Starbuck said.
